New PTCs are turning into High Risk Investments businesses where you will not get paid unless you invest money into the PTC. But there is no telling who these new PTC owners are. As happened too many times before PTCs open, gather money from member investments (membership upgrades and referral packs) and then close down keeping all the investments.
Along with this blunt stealing, they are also selling fake referrals which they include in the bought referral packs - bots - that click as your human referral would, but the thing about bots is that they are not real people thus they do not look at the ads so the advertisers are not actually getting any real views of their ads and are starting not to advertising their ads on these scam PTC websites.
These websites show self-sponsored ads with high ad values, have high referral commissions and lots of daily ads, compared to other PTC's, only to gather funds received from referral purchases and memberships upgrades, and close down without making payments.
Some PTC websites offer you 100% referral commissions, 1 cent ads, and allot of daily ads to click (twenty to thirty, and more).
Other websites offer less amount of daily ads, less referral percentage commission and pay less per ad view; about a quarter of a cent, and half a cent, and rarely 1c per ad.
So why is there this difference?
The PTC business model has ad values set at a medium price per click in order to make the PTC a working business, where advertisers pay a reasonable price to show their ads, the PTC website makes enough money to pay for the website's maintenance (hosting, domain, website script security, etc) and the users get paid a fair value for their clicks.
PTC websites that offer 100% referral commission, 1 cent ads and twenty to thirty daily ads are not following this business model and will eventually be forced to close down without making payments or will start paying you with money received from other members' investments (membership upgrades and referral packs).
Although these PTC websites
are a great way to earn money, in the long run they are not better than other real websites that pay less money per ad view because they will most likely not pay you after a few weeks or months due to lack of funds; no real advertisers, members stopped investing. These sites are called
